The Catholic cemetery in Tetyyov was completely dismantled under the pretext of building a housing estate and a factory. According to Zbigniew Hauser, the site was not used as much as announced and, in principle, the cemetery or at least part of it could have remained intact. However, the gravestones were completely destroyed and made available to the surrounding population as building material. This took place in the 1980s.

What survived was the burial chapel of the Svyakovský family, which has been included in the list of architectural monuments of national rank. Currently, the chapel serves as the parish church http://https://slowopolskie.org/sentymentalna-podroz-potomka-ostatniego-wojewody-podolskiego-m-l-swieykowskiego-h-trzaska/ . The building was erected in classicist style around 1820. The entrance is approached by a four-column portico in the Ionic order, topped by a triangular gable with a relief cross. The entrance is flanked by a portal with the inscription "Graves of the Swieykowskis", above which, in the field of a semicircular tympanum, there is a bas-relief polychrome panoplium with the coats of arms: Trzaska and Jelita.

On the Google Maps accompanying images from 2021, it can be seen that fragments of gravestones are lined up at the entrance to the chapel; two show Polish inscriptions. Presumably these are parts of monuments recovered from the cemetery https://www.google.pl/maps/place/49%C2%B022' 15.0%22N+29%C2%B041'24.0%22E/@49.3726488,29.6775244,3a,75y/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipPpXYkGABsfKkv9ZUkfX0VBCqBggPkPu6c7UfDe!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipPpXYkGABsfKkv9ZUkfX0VBCqBggPkPu6c7UfDe%3Dw203-h270-k-no!7i3468!8i4624!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d49.370833!4d29.69?entry=ttu
